"When Lieutenant Murray fell, the only words he spoke were, 'Forward, Grenadiers!'" -- Telegram. HERE they halted, here once more Hand from hand was rent; Here his voice above the roar Rang, and on they went. Yonder out of sight they crossed, Yonder died the cheers; One word lives where all is lost -- "Forward, Grenadiers!" This alone he asked of fame, This alone of pride; Still with this he faced the flame, Answered Death, and died. Crest of battle sunward tossed, Song of the marching years, This shall live though all be lost -- "Forward, Grenadiers!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DREAM SONG: 2 by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE ROSY BOSOM'D HOURS by COVENTRY KERSEY DIGHTON PATMORE TO A LADY: SHE REFUSING TO CONTINUE A DISPUTE WITH ME by MATTHEW PRIOR OF BENEVOLENCE: AN EPISTLE TO EUMENES by JOHN ARMSTRONG THE WATCHMAN'S REPORT by JOHN BOWRING JAMES MCCOSH by ROBERT BRIDGES (1858-1941) LINES SUGGESTED BY THE FOURTEENTH OF FEBRUARY (1) by CHARLES STUART CALVERLEY |
